NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Britton Ransford chimes in with a great post in a new series that we’ll feature here at NWSB, where he’ll examine the Seahawks’ most outstanding rookie on a week-to-week basis. In Week 3 of 2012 versus the Green Bay Packers the outstanding freshman was Bruce Irvin. The Seahawks 2012 first round draft pick.

Normally it will be a top 10 list, a la David Letterman style.

Marshawn Lynch got back into his groove too.

NWSB Insider Reggie Gill brings us his analysis of the Seattle Seahawks RT position going into the 2012 season. With James Carpenter, the Seahawks first round pick in 2011, still not ready to go 100%, the Hawks will have to rely on surprise tackle Breno Giacomini.

One has to wonder would another 7-9 record send Pete packing?
